Moon Info ~ Toys For Tots ~ Chat With Old Marine ~ Trump Flight ~ Prowling Bruiser

    


Good 40º foggy morning. What else is new!


Warmed up a whole degree warmer than Thursday, all the way to 44º yesterday! A few raindrops about 2pm. Six of them I think, or was it 5?
Yesterday I put on my Marines sweatshirt and went to Wally World. I spent $109.00 and got a 12 plush and stuffed animals, including a few that have a blankets, including Chewbacca (that Brian wanted to keep!!!) and took them to the Toys For Tots barrel in Brian's office.....



They are all so cute and soft and snuggy!



When I was heading into Rogue River, there was a red pickup in front of me with a USMC licence plate and Trump and Greg Walden bumper stickers. He pulled into the pizza place so I followed him. When he got out I told him I wanted to give him a thumbs up for his license plate, the USMC hat he was wearing, and his bumper stickers. We shook hands. He was pleased and saw my shirt and asked if I was a Marine. I said, "Close, but no. I married one and gave birth to one". He laughed and said, "You know the wife of a Marine is the Sgt. Major of the house!"


Then home. Picked up Dude (because he really wanted a ride!) and went to the post office to get a package and the bank to deposit checks.

In the afternoon I looked out and there was Bruiser... on the prowl for something! Can you see him?


Fortunately he came running when he heard me go outside and take pictures and didn't bring me any "treats" !

Later dinner was another of the rotisserie chicken wraps. Yummmmmm.....

All I know. Nuff said. Happy Saturday. Ciao.
